I will use this thread to tell everybody to stop reporting the prefix ex- to be added to members of diverse bands. Such reports will be largely ignored, when they ask only about that tag and not about links etc...

Those prefixes are currently helping to get the page more complicated and confusing for random viewers.

Yes, I just saw Demether's report about me removing/not adding ex- prefixes. Pages with so many affiliated bands don't need to be even more cluttered up with ex- prefixes.
Right after that, he also sent me a mail with the same requests. I let him know.

I changed Heirdrain's genre for now, but are you sure this band should even be on the archives? I didn't hear any BM on "The Long Road to Death".

Yes, believe it or not, this 'band' *ugh* plays Black Metal. I have one of their releases and so does Aurvandil; I doubt that he owns more than one...
I will upload a track of this release and pm you the link...

Also, Melancholy Pessimism is listed as Death Metal. Without wanting to be picky, "Death Metal/Grind" would be more accurate. I own "Inconsistent World", and on this album are present: extremely fast (yet clean) brutal death blast beats, growling grunts and pitch shifted vocals, along with the brutal death/grindcore riffing. No samples here though :/ .

"Extreme" is useful for bands that don't fit in established extreme genres such as black, death or grind. The best example I can think of is Cradle of Filth: to call them BM may be wrong, but simply "gothic metal" would be just as misleading.

As for the band in question, I can understand the disconfort of whoever first tagged them "melodic extreme metal". They are too much flowery, even for norsecore standards. Closer to Children of Bodom than to Satyricon or Windir, I'd add. Check out the title track of their debut, sounds like fuckin' Edguy with screeches.

in fact, this album contains of one meditative ambient track 70-minutes long, I don't know why "runen art"

I got this information from the band. I would suggest the genre to a similiar one as Heirdrain; Black Metal, Noise, Ambient.

I think maybe even Raw Black Metal, Ambient, Noise will be better.
By the way another band friendly to Moloch, Deviator http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=99896, the newest release is ambient and elder releases were raw black metal sometimes close to death metal, so, maybe it will be better to change their genre to Raw Black/Death Metal, Ambient

Heirdrain stays, I was sent an mp3 by oneyoudontknow, proving that it's metal and providing me some good laughs.

That happened to me also when I listened to it first. But looking back on which tracks I have sent you, there would have certainly been "better ones". The music of Bloody Wrath (Heirdrain side-project) is in the same vein, only worse... yes, this is actually possible.

It is black metal mixed with industrial elements, songs, so pretty much correct.
Once again, report only the genres, which are completely wrong or non-existant. It was told so already in the beginning of the thread.

I've been going through a number of bands with genres that should probably be changed, but before I post them, could a moderator answer these two questions?
1.) Is "brutal deathcore" considered to be a legitimate genre?
2.) Is "technical deathcore" considered to be a legitimate genre?
I apologize if this has already been discussed in another thread, but I really can't find any examples of bands playing in those two styles. I guess in most cases the genres could be changed to brutal death metal/deathcore and technical death metal/deathcore, respectively.

Would someone mind giving this a listen and telling me what genre you think it fits into.

I was thinking something along the lines of black/thrash. But the site seems to think It's just Thrash. The vocals are more black to me.
The riffs at the end of Intraspection and the Invisible Eyes sound a lot more black than thrash.

tell me what you think?

This is the "There is an inadequate genre description at a MA band thread" not the "I have no clue what this band is playing thread".

It has nothing to do with black metal. You play still rather underdeveloped modern thrash. (It is a first demo, after all.)
Semi spoken/semi shouted/growled vocals have nothing to do with black metal. There is an attempt at death growl, but that alone does not make the band death metal. If your band attempted to do play black, you have failed.
